How are they limiting all these good offenses to 3 points or fewer quarters?  Minshew was gashing us but can't do poo against them.  Strangled Big D and Tampa previously.  

 

Payton isn't even supposed to be a defensive minded coach

He's a good coach who has a SB win. Called a f'n onside kick and poo and had a pick 6 vs manning.

He's just vicodin crazy enough.

Field position in the 1st was a mess for the jags.

Saints were not among the preseason favorites for nothing, and it wasn't just for the offense. 

They got playmakers (Cam Jordan, Demario Davis, Marshon Lattimore) at all 3 levels on their defense.  Plus their defensive line overall is way better than in years past.

We don't win the division without taking them down at least once and maybe both times this year.

Bradberry isn't Lattimore.

This isn't a knock on Bradberry, but he's not as athletically gifted as Lattimore. Lattimore is able to recover and stick with his guys a lot easier than Bradberry. In fact that whole secondary is more talented atheletically than ours.

So for example when D.J. Chark, 6'3 and runs legit 4.3 is matched up against Crock it's a lot more of a difficult matchup for us.

That said our front 7 is dramatically better.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
